In this guide, we’re going to install Ghost on Kodi. Let’s begin!
1. How to install Ghost on Kodi
If this is your first time installing add-ons on Kodi, you will need to allow the installation of unofficial add-ons. Please read How to allow 3rd-party add-ons on Kodi and come back here when you’re ready.
1.1. Install the Team Crew repository
We’ll start by creating a link to the Team Crew repository, this will allow us to download the repo zip file directly on Kodi.
1. Press the cog icon near the top left corner of the screen to open the Settings menu.
2. Select File Manager.
3. Press Add Source.
4. Enter https://team-crew.github.io/ in the top box and team-crew on the bottom one. Press OK to add the source.
Now that we added the link, let’s use it to install the repository.
5. Go back to the Settings menu and this time select Add-ons.
6. Click on Install from zip file.
7. Select team-crew.
8. Click on repository.thecrew-x.x.x.zip to download and install the repository.
Wait a couple of seconds while the repository is downloaded and installed. You’ll see a notification when the process is done.
1.2. Install the Ghost add-on
Let’s use the repository to install the add-on and its dependencies.
9. Select Install from Repository.
10. Click THE CREW REPO.
11. Select Video add-ons.

We’re almost done! Ghost is installed on Kodi but we still need to set up a debrid account or the add-on won’t find any sources.
2. Using Real Debrid with Ghost
Ghost requires a premium account from Real Debrid, Premiumize, All Debrid, EasyNews, or Furk to function properly.
File hosting sites often limit file availability and bandwidth for free users. Using premium accounts gives you unrestricted access to several file hosters and cached torrents, it can greatly improve the quality and quantity of available sources.
In this example, we’ll use Real Debrid. A popular service to get unrestricted access to various file hosters and cached torrents for a very low price.
Before starting, we recommend logging into your Real Debrid account using a web browser.
1. Open Ghost and select Settings.
2. On the Debrid tab, press Re-auth Real-Debrid.
3. Copy the authorization code.
4. Use a web browser to visit https://real-debrid.com/device/ and enter the authorization code. (You must be logged in with your Real Debrid account).
5. Set the name for the connection, write Ghost and press Set that name.
All done! You’re now ready to use Ghost. Navigate the add-on’s main menu to select a movie or TV show.
Once you made your choice, Ghost will show you a list of available sources, pick one to start playing.
6. You’ll see a selectable list of available sources before playing a movie or episode.
Ghost has a subtitles feature but if you need more control over the subtitles selection process please read How to enable subtitles on Kodi.
